We have been with Sonal for over a year now. All I can say is THANK YOU SONAL!!! We just got our 11+ results, and it’s almost embarrassing to write it down… but here goes… (We have twins.) My daughter got Academic scholarships to all 5 of the schools she applied to (Habs Girls, South Hampstead HIgh, Channing, Forest & Belmont). And my son got Academic scholarships to 4 out of the 5 schools he applied to (Habs Boys, UCS, MTS, Forest & Belmont). The kids were well prepared by their school and had done well on their CATs, so I asked Sonal to not give them any homework. Rather, I just wanted the kids to be able to do exam practice and go over any problems that they needed extra time or explanations on. Sonal helped them with things like working quickly and strategically through exam questions. She was also great with interview preparation and practice. But most importantly, for me and the whole family, she kept all of us calm throughout. She is very thoughtful about the particular needs of each of our two children. She is very patient and allows our children to work through problems in their own way at their own pace. Both of my children are really happy and comfortable with all aspects of her tutoring. Thank you again Sonal!
